la plata. arthur daniels was a handyman and father of five working for a furniture contractor. he will also be laid to rest today. they were among 12 people killed by gunman aaron alexis during the shooting massacre. ...maryland gun laws... would not have stopped aaron alexis from buying the shotgun he used during his rampage last week. 2 days before killing 12 people at the navy yard, alexis bought a pump-action shotgun at a store in virginia... and took possesion of it the same day. maryland's laws about background checks only apply to other weapons... mainly handguns and assault rifles. see all of our stories on the navy yard shooting... go to fox- baltimore dot com... and click on "navy yard shooting" in the hot topics section on the left side of the screen. tense moments on a work construction site in maryland... after a worker gets stuck in the mud. it happened in new market. officials say the man was in a ditch when a water pipe burst. the water quickly started to gush out and

"think common core cirriculum is problem, problem is its coming late and being rushed through instead of thought through" in a written statement to all of this...baltimore county superintendent dallas dance said in response to the meeting where a parent
6:04 am

you're watching it happen live... senator ted cruz and his coleagues.. like senator marco rubio... have been talking on the senate floor since yesterday afternoon...and he says he's not going to stop anytime soon. he says he's not going to stop anytime soon. the reason? cruz is trying to block a senate vote on the house plan to defund obamacare in exchange for not shutting down the government. as dana bash tells us... cruz supports the house bill, but he knows it won't pass the senate. ted cruz seized the senate floor - and vowed not to let go. "i intend to speak in support od defunding obamacare until i am no longer able to stand." to be sure - this is theater. whether he speaks for hours or not - the vote timing,
6:22 am
and the outcome, will be the same. cruz aides fully admit he is using the senate floor stage to speaking directly to his audience - conservative grass roots activists who fueled his tea party upset last year "where's the outrage? where are the senators standing here saying what a travesty that young people are being denied the american dream because what we have wrought, because of obamacare." cruz' talk fest is exactly what his republican leadership - who oppose his tactics - were trying to avoid. in fact even as cruz started, gop leaders were talking to reporters a few feet away - urging him to abandon what they consider a complicated fools errand: for procedural reasons cruz is opposing the bill he supports: funding the government but defunding obamacare. if you don't follow - that's exactly why many worried republicans are exasperated. bash: effectively he's saying the fact that you all are not standing with him means that it's washington business as usual. does he have a point? mcconnell: well,
6:23 am
look, i think we'd all be hard-pressed to explain why we were opposed to a bill we were in favor of. cruz' scorched earth strategy - tying defunding obamacare to must-pass spending bill is inflaming many fellow republicans who think if this causes a government shutdown - they're going to get burned we asked him the question many of them are asking bash: what's your end game here? you knew from the start you were not going to be able to defund obamacare. why put congress through this? cruz: well, dana, with respect i disagree with your premise. i believe we can and if we stand together we will defund obamacare. cruz: can we defund obamacare? (nats of applause) cruz's supporters call all this determination. his gop detractors - delusional. gop senator bob corker tweeted "i didn't go to harvard or princeton (the schools cruz graduated from), but i can count " part of cruz' problem is the senate runs on relationships - and he doesn't have many - something he acknowledged, with uncharacteristi c humor. "this fight is not
6:24 am
about personalities. look, most americans could not give a flying flip about a bunch of politicians in washington. who cares? almost all of us are in cheap suits with bad haircuts! who cares?" that brings us to our question of the day. do you think senator ted cruz's speech will have an impact? we'll take your calls in our 7 o'clock hour. coming up... free money. what you can do today.. to find out if you have unclaimed property.

prompting more and more people to dump their cable and satellite services. instead, they're tuning in with t-v antennas for free, over-the- air shows. consumer reports just tested ten digital tv antennas to see if they can help you save. guy harnett installs tv antennas for his customers who are tired of paying for dozens of cable channels they never watch. (sot: guy harnett) "people want antennas to reduce on their cable bills, reduce on their satellite bills. the type of antenna guy installs goes on your roof and offers the best reception. but consumer reports says indoor antennas are cheaper and easier to install. chyron: claudio ciacci consumer reports (sot) "what you can get from these antennas are the local broadcast channels like

(sot: claudio ciacci) "four of our testers got no signal at all. they were able to pick up no channels at all. some were able to pick up three or four channels, while others got up to 20 channels because of the varying signal strength in their area." so where you live can make a big difference. also important - where you put the antenna. (sot: claudio ciacci) "we had our testers use the antenna in three locations in their home. two locations were right near their tv set, and then we tried a third position over by the window because the window provides the most unobstructed access to the broadcast tower." consumer reports says the 35-dollar radioshack 15- 254 did well in many test homes, and it has a 30- day return

from the baltimore police department's policy. under the police commissioners orders, the words "stop and frisk" are now replaced with "investigative stops." the timing made the a-c-l-u question the timing of commissioner anthony batts' decision... 30 days prior to the memorandum. the a-c-l-u submitted a "freedom of information" request... on the department's use of "stop and frisk." 17:10:36 in order to insure that the practice is not abused police need to monitor what officers are doing in deploying the tactic we requested data by the balitmore city police department to verify the extent to the practice is used and how they're monitoring it the department indicated they need two months to provide that information to us which certainly suggest that they're not doing the tracking they're supposed to do to make sure the practice is not misused against baltimore residents :09 a police department

(:25) "this is a huge victory for me and i feel its a huge victory for women who are in similar situations...." the county still has two similar lawsuits to resolve....filed by another former employee and the a-c-l-u. two victims of the navy yard shooting will be laid to rest today. kenneth proctor was a 23 year federal employee working as a utilities foreman. the father of two will be buried near his home in la plata. arthur daniels was a handyman and father of five working for a furniture contractor. he will also be
7:03 am
laid to rest today. they were among 12 people killed by gunman aaron alexis during the shooting massacre. a bad report card sent a nevada teen on a violent tirade that landed him in jail. reno police say the 13-year-old poured gasoline in his family's home to start a fire, and shot through a wall with his father's handgun. he then called his parents and threatened them. apparently he was upset over having to switch schools, and his mid-term grades. firefighters responded but backed off when they saw the boy with the gun. police then arrived and took the teen into custody in the front yard. the threats are really unpredictable and they can come from any person or any source and we just have to get ready to deal with it, be it a minor or juvenile or a group of individuals bent on doing harm. the teen is facing arson charges as well as assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
